Question Is my gpu defective?

[Dustin Jacocks]

Hello, I've had this issue with my asus strix 6800xt lc for quite some time. It's pretty annoying and frustrating and I'm beginning to think it's defective in some way. Anyway, when I govto restart my pc there's a 50/50 chance it'll get stuck on vga led on my motherboard. So I go to restart it again. Does it once more. After a few more restarts, itll finally post into windows and everything is good from there on. I'm just wondering if the card is defective in some way so I can rma it. System is, 5800x, 32gb gskill trident z royal 3600mhz. Asus strix 6800xt lc. Strix b550 board. Corsair rm750x psu.

How old is the PSU in your build? If you're able to successfully get the system to power up without any debug LED's remaining stagnant, see if you can get into BIOS and take note of the BIOS version at the time of writing. Asus have a number of B550 chipset boards, which one do you have? Side note, what OS are you working with? If Windows 10, what version(not edition) of the OS are you on?
